Owen Bridle

Owen Lawman Bridle (28 July 1910 — 24 April 1983) was an Australian rugby union international.

Born in Exmouth, Devon, Bridle grew up in England but was a product of Melbourne rugby.

Bridle played his early Melbourne rugby for St. Kilda and in 1931 made the Wallabies team for a tour of New Zealand, where he appeared in the match against NZ Maori, which retrospectively became his first Test cap. Although a forward, he possessed considerable speed, helping him to score regular tries. He was the team's second top try scorer on the 1933 tour of South Africa, across 15 tour matches. The following year, Bridle played in a historic first Bledisloe Cup series win for the Wallabies over the All Blacks. He was capped 12 times in total for the Wallabies.
